Powell’s POV: MLW has/had a working relationship with Pro Wrestling Noah in Japan. The promotion was sold recently, leaving the status of that partnership in question. I interviewed MLW COO Court Bauer on the latest Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast and he stated that he read about the sale online and wasn’t sure where that left things between the two companies. MLW announced their partnership with Dragon Gate at Saturday’s MLW Fightland event.
